Will Son Heung-min (Tottenham) remain the eternal ‘Tottenham Man’? Local comment is that negotiations have begun on contract renewal with the club, and that negotiations are being held in a positive atmosphere.
The British media Football Insider reported on the 8th (Korea time) that a source said, “Tottenham has started negotiations on a new contract with Son Heung-min and the contract will be completed in the summer.”
The media added, “The two sides have reportedly held initial talks, but a new deal is unlikely to be finalized until the end of the season.”
Son Heung-min’s contract with Tottenham expires in June 2025. There will be exactly one year left in June. If the contract is not extended, Son Heung-min will be able to leave Tottenham without a transfer fee after the 2024-25 season.

That’s why Tottenham are trying to quickly renew a contract. When Son Heung-min signed a contract with Tottenham until 2025, it included an option to add an extra year to the contract period. Although specific contract renewal terms have not been announced, it is expected that the contract period will be extended and a better offer will be made than the current one.
Rumors about a transfer to Saudi Arabia seem to be disappearing naturally. Football Insider said, “Saudi Pro League clubs were rumored to be recruiting Son Heung-min this summer, but he is content with his life in London and wants to prove himself in the English Premier League (EPL).” He added, “Tottenham is not satisfied with Son Heung-min’s contract situation, “Despite this, we will not accept any offers (from other teams),” he predicted.
If Son Heung-min and Tottenham come to an agreement, it is very likely that Son Heung-min will finish his football career at Tottenham.
Son Heung-min joined Tottenham in August 2015 and is now in his 10th year. He rose to the ranks of the club’s heroes with consistent performance for 10 years. Starting this season, his status within the club has increased further as he roams the field wearing the captain’s armband.
The backdrop to Tottenham’s contract renewal campaign is, of course, a strong performance. Son Heung-min, who was a bit sluggish last season, managed to come back this season. In 23 EPL games, he has scored 13 goals and 6 assists, leading the team’s attack. He leads the way for Tottenham with his high goal scoring ability between the front line and the team.
